You won't be charged with entering illegally, but staying illegally.
You won't be charged with the import, but for posession. Well I guess for exports, if you procure it and export it quickly and then delete/destroy it from your posessions, its fine. But import? Nah. Whoever end with its possession is fucked.
And for export, they could just charge for the creation of it without approval, not the export itself.
Piracy? Yea they'll just prosecute for posession.
Tax fraud? They'll just shut down IRS for duration of the purge so you can't even file it.
-
The actual purpose of the Purge if to make tax fraud legal for 24 hours so the rich can somehow pay even less taxes.
Unnecessary. They're already doing tax fraud.

They pirated it after the purge ended. If you don't destroy their property, I'll make sure you get fired and your life forfeit!

I always thought those movies were too simplistic.
Some people would think things through.
If the purge were real there would be a whole industry around purge-proofing homes. Also rental purge-proof shelters.

Stealing some real food, destroying anti-homeless architecture, sleeping in your own car, getting an abortion, same-sex marriage.
Anyway, I doubt most people would get violent. Most people aren't just held back by laws, but morality. People would probably just be trying all kinds of drugs mostly, racing, trespassing and breaking into places. What better time for exploring some abandoned buildings, or staff-only areas.
You'd probably find me in a train depot, probably taking pictures and trying to figure out how to get one of the engines running. If that area wasn't guarded of course.
Alternatively, I'd probably steal a bus. Or a semi truck. Just temporarily. I don't have a drivers license, but I want to try driving that.
Hmm, I might take a bicycle to the airport. I doubt people would risk flying, and it would probably be the emptiest area for cycling. -

that's a great way to be targeted next purge.

The first rule of Project Mayhem is you do not ask questions, sir.

Huge companies would import stuff by the planeloads to avoid tariffs/duties
Apple was literally buying up entire passenger flights and filing them with iPhones instead of people to skirt in under the deadline. Capitalism is a hell of a drug.

Let's cover polygamy and tax fraud. If you marry multiple people during the purge ... does that mean the marriages are all legal?
If you claim a $1,000,000 tax refund and mail it while the purge is going ... is that legal?
Most people would have way more on their mind than just murder.

Everything is legal, including:
- falsifying a crime report or committing purjury
- excessive force or police brutality
- coerced confession
- false arrest or imprisonment
- evidence or witness tampering
- unwarranted search and seizure or surveillance
We're still talking about the purge, right?

I'll be honest here, mate, I think we've seen that a very large portion of the population would be more than happy to get violent. It's mostly the ones who scream about laws needing to enforce morality on 'the heathens.'

If everything is legal, and a police officer imprisions you that's ok right?! Nothing is ilegal. so we back.to running from the police

I would bet that a great many heads of 'large companies' would be targeted in the first purge. There's no way that there isn't some disgruntled employee or even an ex-employee that wouldn't be willing to take a swing at the big guy before poverty comes in for the kill.

I would say that once the purge ends you cannot be legally married to multiple people. Meanwhile if you murder someone they're just dead. If you kidnap someone you'd have to let them go when it ends.
Stealing is an interesting gray area. Is possessing a stolen object the crime, or is the stealing the crime? Or possibly both? If possessing a stolen object is illegal then you'd have to return them when it ends.

That is a main storyline element in the first movie

Send goon squads (not the new ones) to smash up and kill coops, local farms, unions, uncooperative lawyers, journalists, etc.
